It’d put me off attractions for life if it ever happened to me

STEVE CANAVAN: It was a lot of rattle over just a little roll

I don’t go on rollercoasters because I always worry about them getting stuck while I’m up there.

Imagine what those poor people at Chessington had to go through as they dangled above the ground while they waited what must have felt like an eternity to be rescued by the emergency services from the Rameses Revenge ride at the weekend.

On the plus side, the electrics on the ride cut out when they were meant to.

The people on the ride were also, thankfully, the right way up.

But even so, I think that would put me off all attractions for life if it ever happened to me, or my children.
